The regrettable news of the death of the Free-For-All pacer Little Brown G. 2:06 375, has been the subject of a great deal of talk: at the Charlottetown track since the happening a few days ago. Little Brown G. was a starter with Peach Butter. Cru- sader Chief. Jennie Lyn. Ridge- wood Grattan and Vella La Velia in a featured Free-For-All at the Cape Breton Sports Centre Fri- day night. June 29th. A great deal of interest wastaken in this race which brought together some of the fastest pacers in the Mari- time Provinces. An accident oc- curred as the six free-for-alleis were going under the starting wire. Peach Butter had the pole and was out in front with several horses. including Little Brown G.. bunched in the centre. Just as they crossed the starting line the mishap occurred. Three sulkies ippeared to jam and driver How- rd Hastings was thrown to the &:ack. Little Brown G. raced way dragging half a sulky. ..-

j Driver Hastings was quickly re- biovecl from the track by fans Uwho witnessed the occurrence. residing Judge Ken MacDougall dvised the 2.500 fans present that river Hastings was conscious. e was taken to hospital where 'e understand his injuries were ound to he a broken collar bone Ind severe confusions. Little irown G. was thought to be al- ost unhurt but not so He re- ceived inicrnzil injuries from which he died. as mentioned have. The death of this horse obs the turf of a great pacing crformer and the breeding ranks f a potential great sire. He was by Chief Counsel 3. 1'57 34-- Ihe world's record-and his dam gyas Single Stine 2:00 by Single 5: 1:58 12. He was campaign- pd with great success by Joe 'Brien and because of his good jnast performances was sold for 1 long price at the Harrisburz ,Sale last November to Harry t3-lirsch of Sydney. N. S. He won ibis previous starts at Sydnev ivith one of them in 2:11 25 and hooked to be ready to meet all comers this season. About a week or more prior to the sc- -rident he had been sold to R. J. :'Dick" Logue of Sydney for a eputed price of 55.000. All horse- Enen will sympathize with Mr. g.ogue in this very unfortunate iiappening.

Z Both dashes in that Frce-For- All were won by Mr. I-lirsch's: ';i.ewly acquired Peach Butter

The ex-Ontario trotter Prairie Pete won the 7th :i-ace-'from a good field of trot- tors in 2.14 US, which equalled his record. He is owned and was ririven by R. Andrews of Poi: I-Iorien. The pacer Lee Hy 2:10 :”5, brought down from Ontario by the North End Driving Club 2 couple of months ago. and driven by Harry Hastings in the second race that evening. won in 2'15 45

Glancing over the Truro sum- :21.-iries of last Saturday and Mon- rl.-iy we notice that Polly Scott won the second race for owner E. I-laley. Antigoriish. If we remem- ter correctly she was bred by D J. Riley of Belle River and is by Tieliini Scott 2:09 ll4. Harley Harrison won the 8th dash with Tinizo's Girl in 2:20. She is own- ed by F. W. Barry.

He is owned and W88 rlriven by ll. H. Allen of Halifax. This horse .-taricri r-icing in 1933

In last week's tempted to give the sport fisher- man'I viewpoint in respect to the pollution and ruination of two of our former top trout stream: by

industry with special emphasis

on the operation of starch fac- tories in the Province. Inciden- tally commercial lobster fisher- men have also been affected by the injurious consequence of the residue from potatoes used in the manufacture of "arch on live lobsters held in submerged Crates pending shipment to main- land markets.

Since my last Column appeared in print I have been deluged with questions regarding the hundreds of large trout killed by starch residue pollution at North Lake Among the quesizons ask- ed .two stand out above all oth- ers. What is going to be done to prevent a recurrence of such a wholesale destruction of trout? ,and . . . What is the attitude of
